Murder, They Hope

Some funny moments, but it almost feels as though they don't want to go the whole Carry on hog and let fly. I think this is due to the woke world we live in today, and the fear of not wanting to offend anyone. They should learn from Gervais and Chappelle and just go for funny.

If you're a fan of the first two films which spawned this Franchise (Death on the Tyne) and (Murder on the Blackpool Express) or even if you're just a fan of Johnny Vegas in general, you'll probably hate this.

He's been reduced to a bumbling idiot in order to provide comic relief - and boy does this film need relief. It really wants taking out back and shooting, if I'm honest. The only time Vegas' character has not been given a line to show off his stupidity, is when he's been given one to show off his grumpiness. He's only been given enough material to flip flop between those two states.

Even the haircut he's been given is a metaphor for how all the life has been battered out of any potential his character may have had initially and all that remains is a droopy floppy mess.

Gemma is firmly in charge of the pairing which is very much a gamble, considering she's about as useful as a lighthouse during a power cut and only slightly more intelligent than her sister's character who has really no need to be there.

For those who've never heard of either Vegas or Gibson before, you may find this a pleasant outing. For those of us who have seen what they're both capable of, it's very disappointing and truly worth a miss. Won't even bother watching the others as I value my braincells.

A bit of a slow starter but 2 and 3 just got funnier and funnier keep going.

This so called comedy is a disgrace. Not funny, juvenile attempts at humour and pathetic storyline. To present this as adult entertainment is an insult.

Where do I even begin with this show? It's not perfect, it's not award winning, but it's so funny and I love it!

The first three films were pretty good for the most part. They were hilarious, goofy, had great casts and incredible acting from the leading couple and others. But Murder They Hope goes even further and creates a new format which introduces brand new regular characters Monica and Vicky who are absolutely incredible additions! This format also lets us get to know Terry and Gemma on a deeper level which was very interesting to learn.

I really hope there will be more of this soon! :)
